I was chatting to my dad, discussing his putting woes over the weekend. Then we did a quick evaluation of the putters that we own between us. He has two - both of which are mine; and I have two - both of which are his.

I haven't used a putter I purchased for myself in about 6 years, so just interested to find out how you got your hands on the putter you're currently using.

I have three.  My "gamer" is one I bought 20 years or so ago myself.  A Ping Pal 2 for what, at the time, seemed like an awful lot of money ($50).

I (now) have two others.  One that I won as a prize in a tournament raffle (Ping B60) and one that was given to me to review.

I have 4 all purchased by me, all used by me. One is at work for practice, one in the bag, one in the basement on the practice mat and one extra in finished in black. All the same model Cleveland Classic. I don't keep gear I don't use. The day I decide I am done with it I place a listing on craigslist.

I have two, one is a Ping blade made around 1973 or so, great putter. I also purchased a Ping D66 with interchangable weights that I like to fool around with. It is in my bag right now, the old one is in my closet.

I have a bunch of putters that were given to me. 3 Scotty's, Ping Anser and an old Cleveland classic blade were handed down by my Uncle. I just recently bought a Ping belly putter. It's the first I've ever purchased.

I have four putters, but I really only use one of them, an Odyssey White Ice #7. I occasionally break out an Odyssey Two-ball that is a little heavier if I know I will be playing on slow greens. The two-ball was a gift, but I bought the White Ice #7 one day when I tried it out and made absolutely everything. Never looked back.

Short story. A friend was playing a match and one of his playing partners was using a top-of-the-line Scotty Cameron that he had won in an outing. The guy was missing everything, bemoaning his fate and blaming it all on the putter. Later in the day they were on the putting green and my buddy let him try his cheapo Titileist putter and the guy started pouring everything in the hole. He told my friend that he wanted it and would trade his Scotty Cameron. A couple days later another guy noticed him using the Titleist and asked what happened to his Scotty Cameron. He told him what happened and the guy laughed, telling him the Scotty Cameron was worth about $300 and that he was ripped off. When he ran into my buddy again an argument ensued and my buddy said, no problem, he wasn't trying to rip him off and that they could trade putters back. The guy thought about it for a minute and then said, no, keep it, I want to keep this Titleist. Whatever works, right?

The components were purchased by me and assembled by a friend to be exactly like the one he built for himself.  Not sure just how I answer the poll?

    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.     
    • I get trying to limit relief to the fairway, but how many roots do you typically find in the fairway? Our local rule allows for relief from roots & rocks anywhere on the course (that is in play). My home course has quite a few 100 year old oaks that separate the fairways. Lift and move the ball no closer to the hole. None of us want to damage clubs.
    • Hello, I've been playing a Teardrop td17 F.C. putter for many years and love it. It still putts and feels as good or  better than any of the new putters I've tried and it's in excellent condition except the face has dings in it ever since I bought it used that kind of bother me. I was just wondering if it's possible to have some really shallow horizontal grooves milled into the face on a "roll face" putter. I think I would rather spend some money on it instead of trying to get used to a new putter.  Thanks
    • I agree with @klineka & @DaveP043 above.  When a new member first joins the club they cold be told that they are not eligible for tournaments until they have an established HCP.  As you said, it only takes a few rounds.  If they do not to post HCP that was their choice and choices have consequences.  If playing in the tournament is important to them then they should step up and establish an HCP.  Maybe they miss the 1st tournament, is that a real big deal?  And if it is a "Big Deal" to them then they had the opportunity to establish the HCP. As for not knowing how to report for HCP I assume your club has a pro and they should be able to assist in getting the scores reported and I suspect out of state courses may also have staff that can assist if asked.
